Summary of Contents for Stinger DSI

  • Page 1 User manual English...
  • Page 2 Thank you for purchasing the Driver Safety and Information Computer (DSI). A high quality product like the Stinger DSI, should come with an equally high level of service. Therefore please note that you can direct all your questions regarding the DSI to Stinger by simply calling us on +31 (0) 252 41 80 95.
  • Page 3 ‘future proof’. Stinger brings out a new module, it can be added receiver section. It is extremely slim, particularly If Stinger makes a new module available simply by plugging it in.
  • Page 4 Controls Your DSI will automatically switch on and off along with the ignition of your vehicle and you can control the DSI by means of the eight keys on the Memory Display. Function buttons at the right side The three larger buttons to the right are usually used to select functions or choose settings. The top and bottom buttons of the three are mostly used for navigating up and down between options and to change value settings.
  • Page 5 Controls Favorite screen After the DSI switches on, the Memory Display first shows the Stinger logo and during 10 seconds notifies you that by using the DSI you declare yourself in agreement with the Stinger User Agreement. If you have the MileageLog functionality on (Main Menu > Configuration > MileageLog), next you will see the screen that offers the route type options (business, private, commute).
  • Page 6 Radar and/or Laser Alerting. Erasing is achieved by first pressing the OFF key. In the subsequent screen just choose ERASE. This will turn your DSI in a version that is incapable of Radar Alerting, Laser Alerting and LaserShield .
  • Page 7 Car-to-car Safety Signals A vehicle equipped with a Stinger with Laser that has to suddenly hit the breaks, can instantly give following cars with Stinger Laser an early warning for this dangerous traffic situation. A function that can literally save lives.
  • Page 8 Police in Europe use quite a few ways to check motorists for speed, and an even greater variety of equipment to carry out these checks. Each type of speed trap requires a special approach of the Card. For the different types of speed traps for which it offers protection, the DSI has particular audio-visual alerts, activated on approach of the specific speed trap.
  • Page 9 Induction loop camera’s, such as Truvelo, use loops embedded in the road, instead of radar, to measure speed. These camera’s therefore cannot be found by Radar Alerting or a radar detector. However, by their nature induction loops are in fixed locations and Stinger has mapped virtually all of them and incorporated them in the Stinger SpotList database.
  • Page 10 There are two types of radar speed traps: fixed and mobile. The SpotList Alerting described on page 9 can warn you about the fixed radar locations. Stinger’s Radar Alerting feature*, however, can expertly alert you to both types of radar traps: fixed and mobile. Your Stinger DSI can utilise the Spectrum Analyzer with patch antenna to recognize police radars at often double the distance that some radar detectors manage to achieve.
  • Page 11 The signal strength The closer the measured frequency approaches the official K band axis Your DSI detects a strong K-band frequency, as the K indicator bar is almost full. This suggests frequency of 24.125 GHz (or in the case of the Ka band, 34.3 GHz), the more...
  • Page 12 A, regardless of your speed. This is repeated at the end of the route at point B. The central system therefore knows how long it took you to drive from A to B and will automatically calculate your average speed. The DSI takes you through the Section Control check with various screens.
  • Page 13 Section control During the SPECS Remaining distance Remaining distance within the SPECS Route length Your relative position on the route Average speed is shown visually. This is your real-time average speed over the route covered so far. A happy, neutral or sad face show you whether you’re average speed is okay or over the limit.
  • Page 14 Laser speed traps If you have equipped your DSI with Stinger Laser modules, it can protect you against laser speed traps*, using the latest laser technology. Laser traps involve lasers being shot at your car, with the gun calculating your speed based on the reflected laser.
  • Page 15 Laser speed traps LaserShield ® Warning When speed trap lasers are detected, this screen will be displayed and you will hear the corresponding warning. If you have the LaserShield ® function on, your Shield will automatically deploy. Shield-up time The LaserShield will remain in effect for 4 to 9 seconds, depending on the ‘Shield-up’...
  • Page 16 SpeedSense value. The high value is meant for motorways, the low one for secondary roads (many people set the high value at or around 100 km/h and the low value at or around 50 km/h). If you turn on ‘auto switch’ in the SpeedSense settings, your DSI will automatically switch from the high to the low value as soon as your actual speed reaches the low SpeedSense value.
  • Page 17 If you have PoliceCheck switched on (Main Menu > Settings > MileageLogging), your DSI will automatically keep track of where and when you encountered speed traps (radar, laser, loops, SPECS, etc), your speed at that time as well as the frequencies used permitting you to check wether they fall within the legally permitted bandwith.
  • Page 18 Memory Display for the recording of new MileageLog and PoliceCheck data. Click this button to check for DSI software updates. If updates are available, a window on which you can start the updates will automatically appear. After you have downloaded the newest Stinger SpotList from www.stinger.com, you can click this button to copy the SpotList to your Memory Display enabling to install the new SpotList onto the DSI in your car.
